Yes we found a similar situation going from top of Wainui hill had to just keep going and exited Naenae.
We might have been I'll prepared, included an XLV750 on road tyres, GS650, XJ750 copbike and my trusty X7.
It was an . . , adventure.
OK to add;
Go visiting to show off your new to you TT500. Stay for the Sunday night horrors, just down the road, brruuuhhh.
Oh well switch on reserve. Kick kick. Hmm, check tap.
THERE IS NO RESERVE?!?!!! Just on and off!
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

The one exiting down by Te Whiti park?
You could have done worse, the one ending above Mission st does just that, a couple of hundred meters short. You could do it on the GG. Probably.
Edit: Ah, no must have been well north of there...

Todays lesson.
Tighten your wheel studs up. By the time they come loose and your rear wheel is flopping around like crazy you might be miles away from home like French Pass for instance
On the bright side it was an easier fix than a flat tyre or munted diff bearings which were my first two diagnosis.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

Did a similar thing 10 Years later but more extreme on a doc track before Ngawi. Was better equipped as my GP100 had knobblies.

Just chugging along...
No, you weren't lost...
just exploring another route home.

That lock nut on the bottom of the pivot bolt of the front brake lever....don't forget to put that on, or you will end up doing something exciting. On the Port Ligar road after doing some of my best accelerating I grabbed for that lever that slows you down and just got a hand full of air, tried again (in case it had miraculously reappeared)...same result! so you can imagine the all over the place cornering that happened next. then half an hour of looking for all the little bits that fell off, didn't find them all either but thankfully within rear brake only range of home.

When you're cleaning the front brake calliper pistons, leave the wooden block in the first calliper when you start on the second.

When you remove the choke valve from an Amal, you need to block off the cable hole because it makes an air leak. So don't use a nut and bolt...but if you do, put the bolt in from the top, nut on the bottom, because the small nut has a chance of passing through the engine....because the bolt didn't. And it will happen on some gravel road in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't me, but it was my file that refaced the valve, and we used a puddle to wet the valve grinding paste when lapping the valve. Yes, we went prepared on Adventures in the '70's.

Don't stretch your legs by hanging your feet a few mm's off the ground, don't drift to the centre line going round an easy RH bend, don't smack your big toe directly into a catseye at over 100km/h because your leg will go to a position its never been before and never will go again, your knee will ache for a month and your toe will return to a pink colour in six weeks. Especially don't do this 700km from home.
To anyone that ever told you you’re no good… They’re no better.
